When Porsche messes with a good thing, they make it better

5. It redefines fast, even for Porsche.

The Porsche 911 Turbo uses a lot of technology to put the power to the pavement. Standard all-wheel drive, which is called Porsche Traction Management, helps the car dig in from a stop with minimal slip. With the manual transmission, 0-60 mph arrives in as little as 3.5 seconds. The PDK makes the car faster, cutting the time to 3.4 seconds. The available Sport Chrono Plus package includes a launch control feature for optimal wheel slip and an overboost mode that increases torque to 516 lb.-ft. for short bursts. With this package, the 2010 model is the fastest 911 Turbo ever, sprinting to 60 in just 3.2 seconds. That’s quicker than a 638-horsepower Corvette ZR-1.
